I recently acquired one of the few Holland hulls produced by 32nd Parallel known to exist. The hull was pretty much ready to run, though there were a number of items that needed attending to. Nothing that complicated, though I'm still missing the torpedo door hatch. (You can see the boat as it was sent to me in the SubSwap ad located here: http://www.subcommittee.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11949 )

In any case, the hull came in primer gray and was calling out for a prototypical paint job. Over the past several days I prep'd the hull and today I was able to do the color coats. Here are two photos showing the results.

There is some minor touchup that I need to do to fix two paint drips. Next up is getting the dive module ready for running.

As far as I know, 32nd Parallel only made 2 or 3(?) hulls...and the brass tail feathers on this model may be the only one made by Simon.

The model came with an OTW dive module which should be quite workable. I'm not planning on running the boat in prototypical fashion as John Holland did, i.e. no 'porpoising', but will do the typical r/c sub full static dive trim.
